As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I'm not sure about Howard's past, but one possibility is that the scars are not from a gang but from a fraternity. I have a friend who had a fraternity symbol branded into his arm. How they did it, I'm not sure.

Yes. I believe the diary room was arm twisting semi-floaters to save Elissa and Helen, I think they were hedging their bet because they may have felt that McCray was not a dependable enough vote, and they wanted the drama that would ensue between E&H (and allies) and the bitch pack if Nick instead of Elissa was eliminated. The Gina Marie (what an idiot) reaction was just icing on the cake for them, IMO.

I believe that this week the effort in the diary room will be to save Aaryn and maybe Jeremy for the same reason. I think the resistance to diary room twisting will still result in one of them going home because floaters are defining themselves more in terms of their position in the house, and although she does have emotional reactions and has an implacable hatred toward Aaryn, Helen is a smart cookie (please do not read this as a reference to Asian stereotypes) and should persuade the others to evict Jeremy. Candice and Howard will take some convincing here, and I don't blame them.

It won't really matter who is MVP or who the MVP nominates, there should still be enough votes to oust either Aaryn or Jeremy if opposition is organized and votes aren't split three ways.

BTW, this episode proved once and for all that women are spectacularly evil, hurtful, and malicious bitches.

Hey, I take offense because I'm a girl! And I don't think Candice, Helen or Jessie are spectacularly evil, hurtful and malicious b1tches! Helen might be evil in the game, but she's a good kind of evil, as is Amanda! But I totally agree about Aaryn, GinaMarie and Kaitlin being that way! And Aaryn is the Queen High B1tch! I despise her!

I don't recall reading that one being a DR manipulation so much as people feel they can know what Elissa is going to do and is someone that will be easy to beat when they are done using her. Nick was more of an unknown and they think he could be hard to beat later.

That and the girls were suspecting a boy's alliance so they may have figured he was part of it and getting another boy out might help break that up.

But it was a core 5 alliance with 3 to 4 side members (Kaitlyn, Gina-Marie, Aaryn and Amanda). Switching made no sense, unless he too felt he was closer to Candice and did not really like the people he was in with. Also, maybe Spencer switched knowing that McCrae had already gone to the other side and they lost the numbers.

Everybody seems to forget about Jerkemy threatening each member of the Moving Company, promising to disband and expose all of them. Remarks from the other 4 members was that he'd already gone too far. So not too hard to believe that all of them would have switched allegiances at the next available opportunity, regardless.But you add in Kaitlin, G-Marie and Aryan acting bitchy AND the 4 guys desire to work with Elissa to utilize her extra MVP nominee and it's clear the MC was doomed.And the only reason Howard stuck with an Elissa vote was NOT because he wasn't aware of what the other 3 guys were going to do, but to place doubt in the lap of Amanda.

>In reference to last Sunday? In >Howards mind McCrae's vote >was most likely unknown, so >he wouldn't have known how >Amanda was voting. >>And Jessie's vote was in doubt >also, so he may have >also thought that he might >create confusion about her vote. >Either way, it was resonably >impressive game play.

Howard did say that he knew Nick was going home. If he was uncertain where Jessie and Mccrae were voting than he would not have known this. He did mention he voted for Elyssa to cause a little confusion.

McCrae said he didn't know himself how he was going to vote. There's no way Howard could have known how McCrae was going to vote if McCrae himself didn't know.

So no matter what he said about knowing that Nick leaving, he could only have suspicions, not certainty. He certianly realized that there was a possibility that might happen, but he couldn't have known for sure.

And if he didn't know McCrae's vote, he most likely was also somewhat undecided on Amanda's vote, although he probably did suspect that she very well could be against Nick staying.

And according to the edit, Jessie was also undecided up to the end too. She is a true floater this season, and could very well have thrown in with the girl's team as far as Howard knew.

I read in Big Sister's Live Feed Recaps (which you can find on Reality TV Calendar's website) that apparently Howard and Spencer began to suspect on the day of the eviction that the tide had turned against Nick and decided to save themselves and cause some confusion by splitting their votes.

That said, I'm sure Jerkemy's threats, along with the behavior of Aaryn, GinaMarie and Kaitlin, probably made it easy for McCrae to decide to join Amanda, provided that Judd got Jessie to switch as well (which he did). And once Jessie and McCrae switched, the Moving Company was doomed. And a large part of the blame for its dissolution can be placed in Jerkemy's lap, although the behavior of Aaryn, GinaMarie and Kaitlin played a secondary role.

Actually while Jeremy played a role in Nick going home. He was not the #1 reason. Nick himself was the #1 reason, because he did not build strong relationships with the people he needed to have them with. Also, his cockiness did not help. If he would have accepted the fact that he could go home, he should have worked on those relationships he needed too. Hidden alliances are tough for that reason because you need to have a solid relationship in the first place. Nick projected an attitude like "Me worried? HAHAHAHAHA".

You're right in saying that Nick became too cocky and for that reason, trusted too much in the Moving Company and in the Blonde-tourage Alliance to keep him safe. I don't think anyone from the Brigade of Season 12 made that error -- at least, not in the early going. Later on, maybe Matt became a bit too trusting but not in the early stages.

Question, with America now having the MVP power, what happens if the person who they nominate is already on the block? For instance if Judd already has nominated Aaryn and then America gives her the most votes as well? Will there only be 2 nominees or will they still nominate a third person regardless?

Well, I'll vote to have Aaryn nominated. That said, odds are Aaryn will be nominated anyway. But I want her out for her racist attitude, and racism is a bit of a Red Button for me, so I'm taking a stand.

Julie, you were cocky.I am who I am and everyone told me, calm down, and I'm a winner and I don't lose. Julie, and you just lostI didn't throw anything, I need to humble down a little bit. Walking out a different man because of Kaitlin.Julie, some people though you were a bully.I'm stern, not a bully, comes off like that. Since I am so intimidating.Julie, you said you grewThere is a lot I need to work on inside. A few more weeks and I'd be better.

Goodbye messages.

McCrae, arrogant, inconsiderate, why break up the MCElissa, glad you are out of this house.Helen, sorry you were evicted, had you come in the way you were this week you could have won.Kaitlin, breaks my heart, not going to be sad, can't wait to see you when this is all over.

Up next HOH, but first...voting for the MVP. BB MVP decided. It is America, we will nominate the third house guest.

Um how many texts are left on my plan this month.... oh dear $1 per vote and max of 10 votes.
